Oculus CEO: Valve a 'major contributor' to VR

VRFocus - Oculus VR is undoubtedly the first and most important name in the virtual reality (VR) industry. Never has this been more true than today, as the company hosted its first Oculus Connect developer conference and revealed the Crescent Bay prototype for the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD). But by the company's own admission, it wouldn't be where it is today with out the help of some friends. One such friend is Half-Life developer Valve, which Oculus VR CEO Brendan Iribe labelled as a 'major contributor' in the VR space during his keynote at Oculus Connect today.

Wait for their consumer version Rift. I have a DK2 and it's pretty mind blowing. The new prototype Oculus just demonstrated this week is a step beyond that. There's still things that need to be ironed out still.

My suggestion is wait until the full release then buy that and a high-end graphics card to power it. By then there will be full fledged games to play and higher power hardware to drive the suckers.
